Wow, did ANYONE expect this?! I will say, whatever side you are on the issue of the push that hurt that older gentleman, this response is that of people truly putting their money where their mouth is.
57 Buffalo cops resign from response team after officers suspended for shoving 75-year-old man to ground; DA investigating incident
All 57 officers of the Buffalo Police Emergency Response team resigned Friday afternoon in support of two police officers who were suspended without pay after shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground during a protest.
A police union representative told WKBW that the officers were following orders given to them by Deputy Police Commissioner Joe Gramaglia to clear the area and do not believe they were in the wrong.
While the members of the emergency response team resigned from their specific roles, they did not resign from the police department altogether and are still employed.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said in a statement his office "is aware of developments related to the world assignments of certain members of the Buffalo police force."
He added: "At this time, we can confirm that contingency plans are in place to maintain police services and ensure public safety within our community."
